    Well, this technique doesn’t harm the cane toads, except the few that are used as bait. It lets them live alongside the crocks without killing them, that’s kinda nice.

      Uhh that’s not nice. They’re an invasive species fucking our country over and causing native species to go extinct.

      Every single one in Australia needs to be eradicated.
